Pan American Airlines most gracious Hostess, Miss Bert Schumacher, is seen talking to Mr. Dale T. Walker, who is Dean of Chemistry at Harvard University. Finally in the early hours of the morning, everyone decided to leave this gala affair. Such a grand time was had by all that a second reunion was planned which is to take place ten years from now at a fashionable resort owned by R. D. Meridith, our former co-sponsor.

Class Prophecy On May 28, 1961, the greatest social event in a decade took place in the fabulous home of Miss Jennie Bush, who has gained fame on stage, screen, radio and television, as the modern Fay Emerson. At the luncheon table Miss Patricia Schoepp is being served by several of the eligible young men. She has gained renown as the No. 1 model of Powers, Inc. Signing autographs in the outer hall is none other than Mr. Baseball, Bob Klingenfus. He was voted “rookie” of the year as a “star” catcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers. A very heated discussion is taking place between Captain Dumstorff and Ensign Politsch. This is the usual rivalry carried on between the Navy and the Marines. On the south wall we see a painting of Miss Ann Howard, social worker and founder of The Howard House. This portrait was painted by Edith Schrag, the second Rembrandt of her time. Mr. Donald Burk and his beautiful wife are explaining the principals of his latest invention, the Viso-Phone. The Viso-Phone enables you to see the person with whom you are speaking. Taking a public opinion poll of this marvelous invention is Mr. Gallup’s secretary, Vera Hofmeister. Everyone is admiring the exquisite choice of wallpaper in the dining room, which was designed by “Patce”, better known as Miss Priest. She is now a famous Hollywood Interior Decorator. You’ve heard him on the radio, he’s here in person, Mr. John Ziegler, the play by play reporter of all the Cardinal baseball games. Miss Helene Rossler, White House Efficiency Expert, instructed the servants for handling this unusually large crowd this evening. “Terri” and “Marie” (Miss Strautz and Miss Franck) just returned from Paris, where they have been reviewing the latest styles. They are wearing two of their most recent creations, which are quite stunning. Agriculture Expert, Mr. Shopfer, seems to be giving a few pointers to Mr. Schneider, who is world renowned for his famous Schneider Yorkshires. Schneider’s moto is “More bacon, less lard”. Miss Loeb and Miss Leifer have just returned from a medical convention at the Mayo Brothers Clinic. Miss Loeb has just received her doctors degree in Plastic Surgery. She has selected the very brilliant nurse, Miss Leifer, as her assistant. (Continued on next page)
